Balsamic Vinaigrette
Balsamic Vinaigrette is a simple salad dressing combining balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, and salt. Optional fresh or dried basil and thyme can be added for herbal notes. The ingredients emulsify to create a balanced vinaigrette that adds a tangy-sweet flavor to salads and vegetables.
